Stay'n Alive

Our lives are just wild! I have been wanting to blog for two weeks and here I am just now doing it! Moving is over. The boxes are unpacked and now painting and decorating have begun. We've had so much help from our families and we could not have done it with it them! We love our new house, we have so much more space. I will post pictures when we get some things up on the walls. They boys are LOVING their play room and wow so are Kevin and I! The girls are growing like weeds...they haven't been weighed in a few weeks but I think they are getting close to 8 pounds...especially Klaire! Having twins is such an adventure let me tell ya, but it is so worth it. I have loved cuddling with all my babies, but there is just something pretty special about having one asleep on each shoulder.

Minnie wishes that I would rock her to sleep too!

Kallie left, Klaire right.I couldn't get them smiling at the same time, but they were being so cute.
Kallie looking at camera.
Klaire looking at camera and Kallie is trying to see if Klaire's cheek tastes good.
The boys get to keep their super awesome teepee up all the time now in the play room. Nanna made this for them for Christmas!
You should hear Landon and Liam talk like cowboys. They talk real slow with a major southern accent and they talk about the wild wild west and their horses:)It is not often that the boys want to hold their sisters, but when they do it sure is adorable.
Landon asked to rock Klaire last night. He said okay mom I got this, you can go do the dishes now. So sweet. He called me back in with in two minutes....but hey it was the thought that counted!
Klaire couldn't stop staring at Daddy the other night.Kevin's parents came down and helped us move and take care of all four munchkins.Our nephew Lincoln, brother-in-law Mark, and the boys in the front of the moving truck, check'n it all out.

Klaire is getting a good look at her Aunt Nicci. Kevin's sister and her family came down from Denver to help us move and didn't even tell us they were coming! They just knocked on our door, it was an amazing surprise.

This past weekend Aunt Penny came and we celebrated her birthday. Landon and Liam had three birthday parties for her!
